Then why did the Axis lose in North Africa? All he did was hold the Allies off for a while. In fact, Hitler withdrew Rommel because of the looming disaster.I have studied the N.Africa campaign in great detail. You are talking shit. Rommels retreat was an incredible feat in itself, he lost hardly any of his force and held off his pursuers till he could reform his battle line. You clearly no little to nothing on this subject if you think he "ran like the wind". He succeeded in N.Africa due to his Blitzkrieg tactics.
Get your facts straight! Both Monty and Rommel borrowed ideas from others. Monty built his success on what Auckinlek had created beforehand, and using First World War tactics. Rommel had scarcely touched a tank before 1939, and succeeded mainly because of inept British units in North Africa, and his own leadership skills. Once faced with a superior force at El Alamein, Rommel ran like the wind from Egypt back to Tunisia.I think you will find that Rommel was NOT a Nazis. Get your facts straight, he also was most superior general in WWII, if Hitler hadnt killed him they might not have lost so badly.
Monty copied Rommel, Rommel introduced the first system of land and drive bombers. He revolutionised warfare.
I am Albertan, not a Conservative - but given our penchant for standing up against the East I can understand the discrepancy.Cubanpenguin wrote:
Wow you definitely must be a Conservative. Chretien didn't do a terrible job, he seemed to me to do a pretty decent job even with the scandals.KillerKane0 wrote:
How about the worst leaders in other countries. I'll start!
Worst Canadian prime ministers:
The worst = Pierre E. Trudeau (1968-79, 80-84), the heartless tyrant who invaded Quebec in 1970 and robbed Alberta in the early 80s
.
Second worst = Jean Chretien (1993-2004), nearly 12 years in office with nothing to show for it except extreme corruption.
And Trudeau was definitely one of the better PM's Canada has had.
The worst would certainly be Diefenbaker. mainly for canceling the Avro Arrow but he didn't do a very good job overall either.
